Or...does Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton beat it into them when the GOP is in the White House while telling them how great they're doing when Dems are?
Input from Black Freepers wanted...
“Most African Americans believe the government response to problems is one of benign neglect rather than forceful action.”
Women and minorities hardest hit.

The majority of them need to improve themselves.
The depressed (by any measure) black masses need to break free from the democrat party, which has been enslaving them for 180 years. The democrat party even fought a Civil War to keep their slaves, battling the Republicans seeking (then and now) to free blacks.
Of course things are getting worse. 70% of Blacks don’t have fathers. 12.5% are or have been in the joint.
Jesse doesn’t intend to ever solve the problem of the failure of the Black family. That would put him out of a job. Al is in the same position, as are all of the rest of Black leadership.
Their strategy is similar to that of the Islamofascists, who also never intend to create an economy that transcends poverty for most, which provides them a large, poor, uneducated, easy to manipulate mob.
Suck it up. My in-laws came here in the ‘50s, no English, and learned the language, raised 4 kids, Catholic schools, owned their own business, bought their house cash and became US citizens on July 4, 1976.
They never looked for a hand-out.
Who is keeping them out of the libraries, the tutoring centers, the trade schools, the employment opportunities that allow them to earn and save AS OTHER PEOPLE DO to move them ahead in life?
And don't get me started on all the affirmative action goodies that they can avail themselves of.
It is ludicrous to say that racism is holding anyone back. Not today, in 2007.
Well Jesse and Al have been working overtime to perpetuate this fallacy. Interesting study released today and noted in a WSJ editorial:

Can’t we get over this stupid subject. Racism is a dead issue.
They should be worried, the demorats have found a larger minority, Illegals, to vote for them. However, the truth is that a lot of good black families are doing really well. My neighbors for instance.
70% of births are to unwed mothers.
They have good reason to be discouraged and depressed.
I guess this means that the RATS will get 98% of the black vote next year versus the usual 96%.
The AP must have done an “objective” poll of its mail room boys (all black) who the AP has not promoted nor given a pay raise to in 13 years.
Can we say white pessimism worst since the 1980's or would that be considered to be incitement or maybe even racist?
FARRAKHAN: . . .Although black people looked at Bill Clinton as a black president, he did less for black people than other presidents. We lost the safety net under his administration, for welfare mothers. We lost a lot. But his charisma, no one can take that away from Mr. Clinton. His ability to use language in many ways has attracted the hearts of black people. And the more the establishment beat up on him with his inappropriate behavior, the more black people understood his weakness, and forgave him, and came around him.
I am now doing maintenance on industrial packaging equipment at a company that uses a lot of temp workers on the assembly lines. The temp workers are either under-educated and lacking in experience (not necessarily that group's fault in most cases here), welfare moms, hispanics of very questionable origin (the company has 'plausible deniablility' since they are all temps) dope-dealing ghetto boyz, people who's criminal records prevent them from working anywhere else and some miscellaneous other types.
I get along with nearly everyone there and have no qualms with them on a professional (if you can call it that) level so this isn't some angry 'white guy' bullsh*t.
The blacks who work there are in the lower socio-economic strata but don't seem to want for anything. The women get their 'checks', live in their Section 8's, get all the black market DVD's (and God knows what else) they want on the cheap, drive nice cars, never seem to run out of food to bring to work, are mostly overweight, party their asses off and terribly ignorant about the world outside of their BET/Hollywood influenced lives. The 'men' party their asses off, deal dope, drive nice cars and go to the women's Section 8's to watch bootleg DVDs on the Prime-Time Rentals 648" TV, you get the picture.
My honest opinion based on knowing who I know now and being exposed to their lifestyle is that the anger and resentment comes from not being able to 'roll' like those idiots that they idolize in popular media (sorry, not gonna say culture) and it's 'The Man's' fault in some way or another by their twisted way of thinking. Nevermind that the white guy sitting next to them on the assembly line doesn't wear the latest 'urban' fashion (damn I didn't even hit on that one yet) and rides the bus to work and eats from the vending machine because he is paying full rent on an apartment and utilities on line-worker pay alone.
This is what I'm seeing from my perspective.
Just the usual crap from the Asspress.
Like homosexuals and illegals, blacks want special rights, privlidges and financial help.
This is a capitalist system not a socialist one.
Get off your butts, get educated and make something of yourself.
And quit having babies without committed mommies and daddies.
